Five stars all the way.
My daughter’s wedding was one of the best days of my life, and that is largely thanks to KB Events. They are exceptional at what they do — organized, calm,...
thoughtful, and truly on top of every detail — but what made them stand out even more was the heart they brought to the process.
They poured themselves into this wedding, and it showed in every moment. From the planning stages to the day itself, we felt completely supported and cared for. They anticipated needs before we even knew we had them and handled everything with grace and confidence.
They were also simply a delight to work with — kind, steady, and joyful in the right moments.
I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Working with KB Events was the BEST decision we made throughout the wedding process (second only to saying I do!).
Katie, Adam, and the team made planning a large wedding feel lik...
e a breeze with their clear communication and routine check-ins. My husband and I truly cannot thank them enough for all they did to make our day SO special and seamless, and we will be singing their praises until the end of time.
I still have people come up to me and tell me our wedding was the best wedding they had ever been to and a large part is due to the expert coordination and planning of Katie and the KB Events team. We truly felt like their only clients in how responsive they were and the attention and input they provided, and know every single couple they have worked with has also felt that way. I don't know how they do it, but they really make every couple and event feel special.
No detail is overlooked- Katie even noticed that the room we added onto our venue for the bridal party to get ready in was not as cool as expected due to the AC not working. I didn't say anything about it and shrugged it off, but she had told the venue about her observations and scored us a refund for the add-on expense (& they've since fixed the issue).
We interviewed so many (good) wedding planners before hiring KB Events and are truly so thankful we found them. They are incredible and we 11/10 would recommend KB Events!
My husband and I were married on Halloween of 2025. While we live in Los Angeles we fell in love with the Santa Barbara area for our venue and could not have been happier with our ...
choice to go with KB Events. Our planner Hannah was approachable, incredibly friendly, and professional every step of the way towards the wedding date. We always felt taken care of and that everything that had to be organized with vendors and our own personal check list was expertly handled. It was therefore no surprise that on the day of the wedding every little thing went as smoothly as possible. It was a dream day for us both thanks to Hannah and her team. We could not recommend them enough!
So blessed to have been able to work with the incredible husband and wife team that is Katie and Adam. From our first call it was a match. Their style and system is top notch and s...
o easy to work with. They have a strong network and great relationships which allowed me to have zero stress going into the big day. Every question had a plan, a timeline, and a back up which matched my event planning mindset. I wish we could do it again just to have the honor of the KB team to back us up and make our special day as stress free and perfect as possible. Thank you!

e to the entire planning process. She made everything feel organized, seamless, and stress-free. We always felt like we were in the best hands.
One of the moments that stands out most was during our wedding speeches, when a private home behind our venue happened to be hosting a quinceañera, complete with a full high school marching band (tuba and all!). Our venue said this had never happened in over a decade of weddings, and just as that moment of panic set in, Hannah stepped in with total calmness and confidence. Within minutes, she had seamlessly ushered in our guests who were sitting outside to inside, turning it into a more intimate, cozy setting for everyone, and it ended up being even more special for our speeches and first dances. She coordinated with the hotel staff so quickly and had everything back in motion, by the time our DJ started playing again, the doors reopened and we couldn’t hear the high school band at all.
It’s now a funny story we’ll always laugh about, but in the moment, it was Hannah’s grace, quick thinking, and professionalism that completely saved the day. She truly handled it with such urgency and ease that only a true expert could.
Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more, and we owe so much of that to Hannah. She’s talented, kind, and genuinely cares about her couples. We can’t recommend her highly enough!

Working with KB Events for our partial planning package was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. The level of service we received went far beyond what we expected. We...
felt completely taken care of every step of the way, and looking back, we can’t imagine going through the process without them.
Hannah was an absolute superstar. Truly the best part of the entire planning experience. From our very first call, through every email, meeting, rehearsal, wedding day, and even the follow-up afterward, she was consistently clear, direct, personable, and so professional. She’s incredibly organized, knowledgeable about everything Santa Barbara weddings, and has such a calm, confident energy that instantly puts you at ease.
Every step of the process felt smooth, thoughtful, and well-communicated. We always knew what to expect and felt fully supported, which made planning feel enjoyable instead of stressful. On the day of, everything ran seamlessly thanks to her and her amazing team. We were able to be fully present and soak up every moment, knowing that everything behind the scenes was being handled perfectly.
The end result was more beautiful and meaningful than we could have dreamed of. It was clear throughout that Hannah truly cared about us, not just as clients, but as people, and that personal touch meant the world.
If you’re getting married in Santa Barbara, we couldn’t recommend KB Events more highly. Their pricing is very reasonable for the level of service, professionalism, and peace of mind they provide. We’re endlessly grateful for everything Hannah did to bring our vision to life and to make the entire experience so joyful from start to finish.
Working with KB Events was the absolute best experience. Hannah was beyond helpful and everything we could have asked for in a planner. We gave her our vision and she made it happe...
n (and more), ensuring we stayed within our budget. We recommend her a million times over! She is extremely organized, punctual, and thoughtful.
Hiring Hannah was priceless. She took care of everything with a smile and made sure that our day went off with a hitch. Hands down the best money spent on our wedding, we could not...
recommend her enough! Truly no notes. Our guests were sad to hear she only does Santa Barbara area or she would’ve had many new clients! We will miss working with Hannah she made our day perfect 🥹
From the very beginning, working with KB Events was everything we could’ve hoped for—and so much more. Planning a destination wedding could have easily felt overwhelming, but Katie...
and Adam made the entire process feel calm, intentional, and genuinely exciting. They created space for my now-husband and I to be fully present on our wedding day, without a single worry—and that’s a gift we’ll never forget.
They listened with care, helped us find our dream venue, guided us through vendor selection, answered every single one of our (many!) questions, and brought our vision to life at Machias Meadows in the most beautiful way. Every detail felt like us—from the layout to the flow of the day—and it was clear how much heart and pride they poured into making it all happen.
From vendor coordination to timeline flow, everything was handled with such precision and warmth. Adam even jumped in to help build the floral arch, which speaks volumes about their dedication and hands-on support. What stood out most was how they always seemed one step ahead all week and weekend, allowing us to truly relax and soak in every moment with our loved ones. The entire day felt calm, joyful, full of fun, and a true dream come true—exactly what we had hoped for.
We’re so deeply grateful to have had KB Events by our side for such a meaningful chapter in our lives. Their kindness, expertise, and attention to every detail made our wedding feel like a true reflection of us and the love we share. I cannot recommend them enough. KB Events didn’t just plan and execute our wedding—they crafted memories that will live in our hearts forever. They have a beautiful gift for turning dreams into reality, and we feel so lucky to have experienced that firsthand, and hope others do too!
We’re so grateful we had Katie and Adam as our wedding planners. From day one, they were warm, kind, and clearly knew their stuff. And as a husband-and-wife team, they brought such...
a great energy.
We wanted to plan many details ourselves, and they struck the perfect balance, giving us space while stepping in with great ideas, organization, and guidance when needed. They created a vision board that nailed our colors and style, kept us on track with checklists, and handled all vendor communication. They were always quick to respond and made the process calm and stress-free.
On our wedding day, everything ran perfectly on time and felt effortless. Our guests even commented on how smooth it was. They went above and beyond, from bringing little things we forgot to literally driving us to our hotel after the ceremony.
If you want planners who are organized, creative, and genuinely invested in making your wedding special, we can’t recommend KB enough.
Katie and Adam were the most incredible wedding planners — truly, we couldn’t have asked for better. We actually found them before we found our venue — which they recommended, and ...
we booked immediately after touring. Every recommendation they made and all of their Santa Barbara expertise were so helpful throughout the planning process. I genuinely never felt stressed because of them! But the real magic was on the wedding day — they ran the tightest, most well-oiled machine. Everything went off without a hitch and came together perfectly.
Super Pro Wedding planner that over achieved in all wedding planning areas. My daughters wedding day was perfect, because Katie and Adam had every small and large detail planned mo...
nths in advance. This made the actual wedding day just a relaxing and super fun experience for both our immediate family, but all our guests too.
Hannah and KB Events made our dream wedding come to life!! My husband and I got married at The Santa Barbara Club in early November and Hannah was recommended by our venue and seve...
ral other local vendors.
Hannah provided us with numerous resources to help track our budget, create a very detailed timeline for the day and organize all our vendor information in one place. Hannah was quick to respond to all our emails and changes and made us feel at ease throughout the entire planning process and day of. There was potential rain forecasted on our wedding day and Hannah worked endlessly with our venue and vendors with only a few days before our wedding to create an alternative plan for indoors. Fortunately, it ended up being a beautiful day outside, but knowing she had a back up option planned for us was such a relief.
Not only is Hannah the sweetest person ever, she is so knowledgable about the wedding industry in Santa Barbara County and surrounding areas and provided us with amazing suggestions which really elevated our wedding.
It was an absolute pleasure working with Hannah and KB Events and would highly recommend booking them ASAP for your wedding!
Katie and Adam Review
We were married at the Hotel Californian on September 21st. Katie and Adam of KB Events were our wedding planners from the beginning in January. We had wante...
d a group that was local to Santa Barbara (our hometown and a wedding destination for many people, as well) so that they were in touch with the venues, outside providers for all services, and logistics. It could not have been a better choice.
After months of planning once we had selected the venue, our wedding day was perfect and seemingly flawless in terms of all of the parts and pieces that had to fit together. Everything was on a coordinated schedule for the vendors, in place and on time. The Hotel Californian was great to work with, setting up for the ceremony and the dinner afterwards. What a beautiful location!
Katie and Adam (and their staff on the day of the wedding) orchestrated a fabulous and enchanting day for us. Their involvement and attention to the smallest detail through the months of preparation and their oversight on the day made our wedding so easy for us, and we were able to just enjoy our most special moments without any cares or worries. Thanks to both of you and your staff for this fairy-tale wedding and a magical day!
KB Events is awesome! Hannah was our wedding coordinator and was so communicative, supportive, and organized. If you’re getting married in the SB or Ventura area you should really ...
consider this team. They made our wedding planning so easy! They were also very professional the whole time and I only have nice things to say.
Katie and Adam were simply the best!! I couldn’t recommend them enough! Truly such a blessing to work with, easy going, happy and made our big day as smooth and beautiful as possib...
le! We are so grateful for their hard work and for the love they pour into each and every event they help with; they are angels!!! Can’t thank them enough for making our wedding feel as magical as it was!
I couldn't have pulled off my wedding without the amazing services of KB Events. Katie, Adam, and Hannah were an absolute pleasure to work with and made our lives so much easier in...
the process. Any little thing we needed, any little hiccup- they were on it. A HUGE bonus is that KB not only does wedding planning but coordination as well, meaning they will be at your wedding helping implement all the planning details. Couldn't recommend them enough for weddings in Santa Barbara area.
We hired Hannah at KB Events for our July 2024 Wedding and it was the best decision we could have made! She was on top of everything from start to finish and took off all of the pr...
essure of not knowing what needed to be done and when. She had excellent communication with both the vendors and with us. She was extremely thorough and detail oriented which ensured nothing fell through the cracks. On the day of the wedding she was a God send. She handled everything with ease. We got married at Bel Air Bay Club and you would never know that she had never done a wedding there before. We could not recommend her and KB events more!!!
Katie and Adam were amazing! They provided my husband and myself with so much help and guidance while planning our wedding. When my hair and makeup team cancelled on me, Katie cont...
acted all her trusted vendors and provided me with a list of people that were reliable and available for my day. They answered my hundreds of questions throughout the planning process and truly put our minds at ease knowing they would handle whatever was thrown at them on the big day beautifully.
They are truly wonderful people and I do not have enough good things to say about them!
We worked with Hannah and KB Events for our daughters June 2024 Wedding. We can't say enough about Hannah and how amazing the day went with her guidance and help. We are from out o...
f state along with the entire guest list so it was a destination for all. Hannah was a huge help from the beginning, the meetings we had were well organized and she thought of everything. The day of the wedding, went without a single problem. It was absolutely perfect! From gathering all the items we dropped off to the venue, setting everything up, checking in on the girls to make sure they were on track, keeping the flow going and the execution of a flawless day. We highly recommend Hannah and KB Events for your wedding.
Highly recommend KB Events for your wedding planning needs! We hired KB Events for end planning for our wedding this past May, as we had figured out most of our vendors on our own,...
but still needed some extra support. Our lead planner, Hannah, was absolutely amazing. We felt so supported by her, as well as Katie and Adam, throughout the whole process from our very first inquiry phone call through the end of our wonderful wedding evening.
Hannah's communication, support, organization, and enthusiasm throughout the whole process was incredibly helpful and calming. She helped with finalizing some finer details that had not even crossed our mind, as well as making sure that all the big items came together and ran smoothly. We received many compliments from our family members and friends the next day with how amazing they thought she was and what a good job was done with making everything we imagined come together. We appreciate all the support for helping to make our wedding the best we could have hoped for!
Professional, Organized, and Experienced. How lucky we are to have had Katie and Adam plan our wedding. They guided us on an eleven month journey, from our first time meeting to ou...
r wedding day, and catered to us every chance they could along the way. I am forever thankful for their time and dedication.
Katie & Adam from KB Events helped us to have our dream wedding. We hired KB Events for their End Planning & Day of Coordination package, and the value of their services were worth...
far more than the price we paid. Throughout the planning process, Katie was responsive, supportive, creative, and eager to make wedding planning a breeze.
Their End Planning & Day of Coordination services include a planning portal to keep you organized, access to an online seating program, and a planning checklist sorted by month. I relied heavily on these resources and greatly appreciated having access to them.
During each meeting (video call, phone call, or in-person), my husband and I felt very supported, and knew that Katie would do everything she could to make our wedding weekend beautiful & stress free. Our wedding weekend was perfect due to the professionalism that Katie & Adam showed.
One of the vendors (NOT a KB Events team member) was unfit to work our wedding. Katie & Adam were highly professional when relieving the vendor of their duties, and ensured our wedding continued without incident. Almost NONE of our guests knew about this situation, which is a testament to the professionalism and efficiency KB Events shows during their events. Our wedding would not have been smooth without KB Events, and we HIGHLY recommend Katie & Adam to everyone planning events in the Santa Barbara area.
Katie and Adam are a dynamic duo. They helped bring my wedding vision to life and if I were to go back in time, I'd choose their services again.
I live in a different state than...
where I got married which made me nervous to plan a wedding, but Katie and Adam alleviated any concerns that I had. They were fast and responsive and helped answer all of my questions via email or call. The wedding day was smooth and they ensured that we were fed and hydrated throughout the entire evening. They coordinated everything with the vendors and I didn't have to do a thing! I can't thank KB events enough. Thank you for being part of such a special moment of my life.
Katie and Adam are truly the best wedding planning team you could ask for, and we didn’t even book their full service package. They know absolutely everything about planning a wedd...
ing in the Santa Barbara area. We planned the wedding from out of state, and it could not have been any easier. Katie and Adam pointed us in the right direction for all of the other vendors (which were also incredible); and they kept us on track during the planning process (and on budget!).
They are incredibly responsive and organized. All of our other vendors raved about the comprehensive timeline they put together. Katie and Adam also executed our dream design perfectly, despite the fact that we just sent them a handful of pinterest photos. It was such a magical day, and we felt completely relaxed and taken care of on our wedding day knowing that every single detail was meticulously planned by the KB events team. If you are getting married in Santa Barbara you MUST MUST MUST work with them. Without hesitation I will recommend the team to everyone I know that is looking for a wedding planner.
KB Events is literally the best. My wife and I hired KB Events with their full package as our first step to planning our wedding.
Katie, Adam, and their team 100% deserve their im...
maculate ratings. They are kind, thoughtful, able to push back, but respectful of the couples' goals, they'll give you the inside track of where you can and cannot push, and even their budget estimates are accurate. They can work with anything, and it does legitimately seem like nothing you request or tell them will surprise them.
They will even find you in between your duties as wedding host to give you a plate of food to make sure you are eating.
Our wedding happened to be one of the two days in April it RAINED. They were not phased, and everything got adjusted last minute. They weren't stressed. We weren't stressed (well, I was a little), and everything worked out so well.
It's now exactly a month later, and Gina and I have never once thought of anything they could have done better. Their services were perfect. We could not more highly recommend them.
We recently had the pleasure to work with the KB Events team, engaged as the wedding planners, for an event held at our ranch in Carpinteria. Owners Katie and Adam were incredible...
planners and managers of every detail as they created a flawless wedding event. The ranch is unique with several creek crossings and unique characteristics that might otherwise make an event for nearly 300 people challenging, but KB worked with all their vendors, professionally directing every detail of the event to perfection! The newly weds indicated to me that it was an event beyond their greatest expectation! This husband-wife team together with their assistant, were hands-on and a true delight to work with and we look forward to having them back as wedding/event planners for more events at The Rincon Creek Ranch!
We are so thankful to have worked with KB Events for our winter wedding! I come from experience in the events industry and have had the privilege of working with KB Events in the p...
ast and they are fantastic vendors to work with. When it came time for my own wedding, I knew exactly who would be the perfect planning team for our day. Katie and Adam are kind hearted people with a passion for weddings. Their organization, critical thinking, and diligent responses were beyond appreciated during the planning stages. When it came down to hard decisions to make and last minute weather changes, we felt so comfortable with KB Events handling those decisions for us. Our wedding day couldn’t have gone any better without the help from this team. If you want to feel stress free the days leading up to your wedding, I highly recommend hiring a planner, especially KB Events. We are forever grateful.
Katie, Adam, and the rest of the KB Events team are truly fantastic to work with. Beyond their professionalism, attention to detail, and organization (mentioned in just about every...
review here), I think what makes them a top tier wedding planning service is their deep connection to the wedding industry in Santa Barbara. Over their careers, they have developed strong relationships with every vendor in the area. They were able to quickly identify the appropriate vendors for our needs and price point and get accurate quotes. From the hair stylists to the DJ to the caterer, every vendor we worked with commented on how lucky we were to be under Katie and Adam’s care and how easy it was to work with them.
The results speak for themselves. My wife and I’s wedding went off seamlessly, and we were able to enjoy it to the fullest because Katie and Adam made sure there was absolutely nothing to worry about.
Do yourself a favor and work with KB Events. It will be the best money you spend on your wedding.
Katie, Adam and the KB Events team made our dreams come true.
When my now-husband (!) and I decided to get married in California - where I’m originally from and where my family st...
ill lives - we were daunted by the prospect of planning a wedding from the other side of the country (we live on the East Coast). That trepidation dissipated as soon as we contacted KB Events.
We had talked to a few other individuals and companies in the early stages of exploring the possibility of hiring planners to help with our wedding. None of them treated us with the care and respect that Katie and Adam did when we first spoke with them, before we had even signed a contract. We knew they were really something special when, in the time between my inquiry email and our introductory call with them, they had already managed to place a soft hold on our first choice venue, on our first choice date - a venue that to this point, we had not been able to get ahold of! They made us feel like their only clients - a theme that carried through until our wedding day. They listened to what we were looking to do and offered ways to make it happen. Katie and Adam prioritized taking our ideas and making them a reality. I really wanted to highlight the charm of Santa Barbara with our wedding details, and the final result was better than I could have ever imagined (the lemons! The olive oil! The TROLLEY!)
Katie and Adam laid out a timeline for all the key milestones we would need to hit leading up to our wedding, accounting for every major (venue, date, florist) and minor (silverware selection, placement of napkins) detail. They served as the primary point of contact for each of our vendors, which paved the way for us to spend less time fretting about administrative details and more time making decisions.
The best compliment I can give Katie and Adam is that, throughout the 18 months we worked with them to plan our wedding, we never once felt stressed. They were proactive to keep us on deadline and help us stay ahead of budgeting, which allowed us to enjoy every aspect of the wedding planning process – something we recognize not everyone can say about their wedding planning experience.
It may sound cheesy, but we consider Katie and Adam our friends now, and we can’t wait to continue bugging them to hang out with us whenever we’re in town.
Hiring KB Events and Hannah was the best decision we made in the wedding planning process! We did their wedding coordinator package which is supposed to be 60 day support, but Hann...
ah was by my side the entire time. This was especially important since I was planning my SB wedding from Arizona. Hannah made sure we had the best vendors and everything was organized perfectly. It was the most perfect wedding and we couldn’t have done it without Hannah, Katie and Adam. Everyone was a joy to work with. Thank you!!!
KB Events was such a joy to work with!! We were so thrilled with our collaboration with them.
After having to separate from another wedding planner due to her lack of organization...
and accountability, we started working with Hannah, Katie, and Adam a little bit into our planning. I was a nervous wreck because of how poorly things went with our initial planner, and was so anxious about finding the right fit who could help us.
And trust me when I say that KB Events absolutely blew me away. If you are looking for incredibly organized, super supportive, patient, and respectful planners, KB is for you. Their extreme attention to detail was exactly what I needed to feel taken care of. All of their emails were so thorough, easy to read, and just always made me feel like they were on top of their game. They were also very responsive in their emails in terms of how long it took for them to get back to you.
And if you’re a bride who has a lot of questions… who is quite particular or has a lot of opinions… or who just is very detail-oriented and Type A herself about to-do lists and timelines… KB gets it. They were always SO respectful and professional in their communications, even if I was badgering them with questions or concerns. If ever I found a discrepancy or mentioned a mistake I noticed, they never got defensive or deflective (something we experienced with the other initial planner)... they always acknowledged any mistake (which was rare), apologized, took accountability, and fixed it. They always showed up with smiles on their faces and never once came off as stressed out or overworked. Each call/meeting/engagement with them was personal - they were always focused and prepared. They provided amazing to-do lists and timelines and took initiative on setting up meetings with vendors.
Even on things that were outside of their “responsibilities,” they were so supportive and helpful. I had a wedding dress emergency, and they responded right away. My husband had a tie emergency, and they got back to us outside of work hours and offered to get a package delivered to their home. The thing I really appreciated about Katie, Hannah, and Adam is that I really trusted them and I genuinely liked them. They are such caring and fun people!
KB might charge a bit more than some other options on here, but for us it was worth the peace of mind. My husband and I could not be happier with the planning of our wedding and the wedding itself! It was the most magical, dreamy, perfect weekend and we are so grateful to KB Events for helping us pull it off!
Katie and Adam were absolutely wonderful to work with in the process of planning our wedding! They were incredibly professional, kind, and such a calming presence during the whole ...
process. They made our wedding day flow absolutely seamlessly and I received so many comments from family and friends about how easy they made everything feel. They made sure our event was executed perfectly, were on top of every vendor, and gave us incredible suggestions throughout the process. They also continued to check in throughout the wedding day to ensure we were taken care of and feeling good! They are also extremely knowledgeable about Santa Barbara and made me feel so at ease. I can't thank them or recommend working with them enough!!
KB Events is hands down simply the best! We were planning a destination wedding in Santa Barbara and after my first phone call with Katie I immediately called my fiancé and told h...
im I found our wedding planners. We worked with Hannah to plan our wedding and she was a dream. She answered our emails immediately, followed up with any questions or requests we had and made this Type A bride feel completely understood and at ease. Although we worked with Hannah almost exclusively, Katie and Adam were also there to help or answer questions if we needed them. They work as an amazing team and made our event go off without any issues (or if there were issues I didn’t know about them). If you’re still reading this review and haven’t hired KB Events stop reading immediately and go hire them now! My only regret is not hiring them for the full wedding planning process, they are worth it!
We can not say enough wonderful things about Katie and Adam with KB Events. Aside from just being gracious people, they are absolutely the best team we could have ever chosen to wo...
rk with. My husband and I had pretty busy lives as it was so the thought of planning a destination wedding was very overwhelming. Admittedly we procrastinated quite a bit but KB Events is so dialed in and organized on another level that they kept us on track and enabled us to create the most perfect day. They truly helped to alleviate so much stress that we were able to work through all the nuances and details that comes with wedding planning without any added gray hair. Katie and Adam far exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning they were exceptional with their communication and recommendations, they helped us manage our budget, vendor coordination (which is a profession in itself), and created the most detailed day of wedding timeline I could have imagined. And one of my personal favorite things about them being a husband and wife team is that they both offer different insights, advice and ideas that really helped us pull together our vision. They are true professionals and great at what they do.I think it speaks volumes that if there were any disasters the day of the wedding whether it was design flaws, issues with vendors or guests, food, or even the crazy windy day we had, we still have no idea. The day went off without a hitch. Katie and Adam are the best and made our day simply perfect.
I cannot recommend KB Events enough! Katie and Adam joined our wedding process at the beginning and made the whole thing not only manageable but fun! They found a way to guide us w...
hile still championing our personal style. We even had a tropical storm the weekend of our wedding and they managed to pivot without losing any of the charm or beauty we had planned. Seriously, they are absolutely amazing and a joy to get to know! Hire them!!!
The team at KB Events are the BEST wedding planners you could ever ask for to plan your wedding.
From the planning-side, they are responsive, organized, good at keeping you on tr...
ack, and very well connected to the vendor community in Santa Barbara. We've had vendors immediately agree to work with us because we have KB Events as our planner!
On the execution side, they are very thorough and thoughtful in their approach to making sure you have the best event you and your guests could ever ask for. From having the opportunity to stage our table setting beforehand, to the venue walk through that they organize for all our vendors, to the video sessions where we went through every single detail of our wedding with them, and countless other examples, every step of the way we felt very well taken care of.
I can't tell you the number of guests that have told us that our wedding was one of the best that they've ever been to (seamless, clearly well organized, beautiful, etc.), and it all wouldn't have been possible without Hannah, Katie & the rest of the team at KB Events. Without hesitation I will recommend the team to everyone I know that is looking for a wedding event planner.
Katie and Adam of KB Events in Santa Barbara were absolutely a solid team to work with for our daughter's wedding. Their attention to detail and personable demeanor made the days ...
leading up to the wedding and the wedding day, stress free. My husband and I were able to enjoy the celebration and capture wonderful and lasting memories because Katie and Adam attended to every element of the plan. We highly recommend Katie and Adam of KB Events!
Katie and Adam from KB Events were the wedding planners for our wedding at Hotel Californian in Santa Barbara, CA. We cannot express enough how grateful we are for their patience, ...
availability, and attention to detail that they both brought throughout the planning process. They were always so responsive to our questions and requests, and they went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding day was perfect.
//
They were always on top of things, and they made sure that our vendors were also aware of our specific needs. This made us feel confident that everything would be taken care of on the day of the wedding. One of the things that we appreciated most about KB Events was their ability to follow up with our vendors to communicate our preferences/adjustments and ensure that everything was running smoothly. One of many examples of this was Adam working with the vendors to get our hedges just right to optimize the ambience and privacy of our cocktail hour.
//
KB Events created a relaxed and organized flow for our wedding day. This allowed us to enjoy our wedding day without having to worry about anything. A small example highlighting this was Katie ensuring that we had a private moment to pause, eat and drink between the end of the ceremony and joining the cocktail reception with our guests.
//
We are so grateful to Katie and Adam for all of their hard work and dedication in planning our wedding. They were an absolute pleasure to work with, and they made our wedding day truly memorable.
//
In summary, Katie and Adam went above and beyond for us:
They helped us to find the perfect vendors for our wedding, and they negotiated or communicated requests on our behalf; they created a detailed timeline for our wedding day, and they made sure that everything was on track; they handled all of the behind-the-scenes details, so that we could focus on enjoying our wedding day; they were always available to answer our questions and address our concerns; they went out of their way to make sure that our wedding day was perfect.

We would highly recommend KB Events to anyone who is planning a wedding. They are professional, organized, and they have a great eye for detail. They will make sure that your wedding day is everything you have ever dreamed of.
My husband and I hired Katie and Adam to help us plan and coordinate our welcome party and wedding ceremony/reception. They did an absolutely fantastic job! Both days of events ran...
smoothly and were stress-free for myself, my husband, and our families and friends. I think this was due to Katie and Adam's attention to detail during the planning process as well as their professionalism and hard work during the events themselves. Not only that, they were such a delight to work with during the planning process - always available to answer our questions and provide advice when needed. We are so incredibly glad that we picked KB Events to help us plan our Santa Barbara wedding! I cannot recommend Katie and Adam enough, they are superb wedding planners and just all-around kind and wonderful human beings.
Katie and Adam were the rock and foundation of our entire planning process from when we found them! Our wedding day would have not been possible without them. We had the day of pla...
nner package, but they gave us calls and meeting when we needed them. They'd responded to our questions quickly when we had them,. They gave us recommendations of vendors for that were within our budget, and took over communications with them before the wedding. They made timelines for us and worked through all the fine details of the day. On Wedding day, they made sure everything was taken care of for set up and ensured all of our personnel items we provided were set up. They made sure we ate, and ensured we stayed on time for the next event of the evening. They were calm and helped us stay calm on the last minute changes that came up day of the wedding. It was amazing to let our guest know that we were taken care of the day of the wedding and that if they had a question, they could ask the wedding planners. All of this to say, they made the wedding planning process so much better and less stressful, and day of we did not have to worry about a thing! You should consider this amazing team for your wedding!
Katie and Adam are 10-star wedding planners. We recently hosted our wedding at the SB Courthouse followed by an evening at El Paseo for 110 friends and family and it went without ...
issue. To every question their answer is: yes, we'll make it happen; and they do. When we wanted lion dancers, boom, they know a group. When I wanted to celebrate birthdays at the wedding, Katie responded: how many candles. They know Santa Barbara, they know the vendors, they know the good and the bad of each space. They communicate with clarity. They are consummate pros and I recommend them without reservation. Please ask Katie and Adam for my contact info if you'd like to talk further.
Our advice is simple! Don't wait another second to lock in Katie and Adam for your wedding.
We booked their full-service option and can't say enough good things about our journey ...
with KB Events. From our initial consultation in December 2021 to our wedding in April 2023, Katie and Adam were with us every step of the way for 16 months. We got married at Alisal Ranch in Solvang, CA, and the wealth of experience that KB Events brought to the table – both behind the scenes and with all the moving pieces that are in a wedding – always made us feel supported. We are so grateful to have found them.
Katie and Adam are incredibly responsive – not only to your communications (we sent them hundreds of emails, and every single one got a timely response) but also to your vision of your big day. Katie and Adam never stopped listening to us, adapting to our (many) changes and requests, or working tirelessly to ensure our wedding went smoothly (which it did, thanks to them).
What's more, Katie and Adam are kind, patient, and calm (qualities that could not have been more valuable throughout this process), extremely detail-oriented, and simply wonderful to talk and plan with. They consistently lowered our blood pressure, and we looked forward to every conversation with them as a result.
Partnering with Katie and Adam was the single best decision we made since choosing to get married. We hope you get to go on the same sort of journey with them as we did.
KB Events is first class. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. Katie and Adam perfectly executed our wedding at the Rosewood Miramar in Montecito, and I do not have enough word...
s to express my gratitude. Our wedding rehearsal and wedding was absolutely seamless and perfect. Katie and Adam were attentive, extremely polite, professional and always one step ahead. They made excellent decisions on the day of our wedding when changes had to be made, and always kept me up to date, and did it so delicately. My grandmother suddenly passed during our rehearsal ceremony and Katie and Adam were there for me and my family. They are true humans with extremely large hearts. With them by our side, it made such a tough day easier for me and my family. Katie and Adam are also excellent storytellers. The next morning I woke up to a beautiful montage of pictures and videos that they shared with me from our special day, which brought a smile during a very difficult time for me.
I highly recommend them for your event and know you will be in perfect hands.
Katie and Adam were the wedding planner dream team. Thanks to KB events, our special day went off without a hitch. The "month of" coordinating package we chose comes with so much m...
ore than help during the final month alone. Katie and Adam set us up with planning resources, a wedding day timeline, and were there to answer our questions all along the way. They're incredibly professional and experienced. They helped us work through a last-minute DJ cancellation, set up our decor flawlessly, and Katie had a safety pin ready to go immediately when my dress strap broke during some especially enthusiastic dancing during the reception.
You'll be in great hands with KB!
It was an absolute 10/10 experience working with Katie and Adam. We did their partial planning package and felt so taken care of through the entire process. They executed our visio...
n to a T, thinking of the smallest details but also deftly handling our very enthusiastic crowd. A few of the other vendors even commented on how organized kb events are - their reputation precedes them! Our venue was the opposite of all inclusive (ie - bring your own restrooms, trash, heaters, catering kitchen, etc.) and they made it all so manageable. Their timeline became our bible in the weeks leading up to the big day, and they absolutely nailed execution of all of our plans the day of (champagne tower, setting up escort cards, adjusting tables so we had more room for dancing, etc.) You will love working with them!
I don't think I could've gotten married without KB Events. Well, I probably could have but the drinks would've been warm, the pizza would've been cold, and I would've been an absol...
ute nightmare to live with.
From our very first call, Katie & Adam put our minds at ease. Being a type A control freak it was hard to give someone else control but I am so so happy I did. We got married at a friend's house so there were a lot of logistics I could never have handled and "little things" I would've never thought of (do the bathrooms or pizza truck come in first, do we have a basket for cards, which shuttle should people be on for family pictures). My god, just the timeline alone is enough to make your head spin! But every little change I made, every request, silly question, repeated silly question, stressful almost bridezilla freakout - Katie and Adam handled them like the pros they are. It really felt like they cared about us as individuals, what we expected individually for the day and then what we wanted as a couple. A week before our big day a SNAFU happened with our after party spot and although it wasn't technically part of our contract, they stepped in to try and help us get things settled. BECAUSE THEY CARE and it really really shows.
We interviewed a few planners before Katie & Adam but it was a no brainer the second we got off our call. Stop.looking, you've found your planners, I promise you'll thank me later
Katie and Adam at KB Events are the greatest thing we did for our wedding! They were professional, organized, and knowledgeable. They had answers to every question we had and thoug...
ht of things we wouldn't have even known about. They connected us to all of our vendors and every single vendor spoke highly of them. We were planning our wedding from the other side of the country but had no issues or problems with anything because Katie and Adam had everything prepped, planned, and organized! If I were to do it all over again, I wouldn't do it without KB Events.
Katie, Adam and the entire KB Event Team were incredible for our wedding! We hired KB Events as our wedding planner and they went above and beyond throughout our entire wedding pla...
nning process. They helped in so many ways: they understood our vision to help us pick our vendors (all of whom turned out to be fantastic and a massive success on out wedding day), were readily available for any questions that popped up, helped coordinate and communicate the hundreds of small details that went into the wedding, and insured day-of that our wedding went seamless. It was so important that we had a partner throughout the wedding process that we could trust, and Katie and Adam were exactly what we needed. Our wedding would have not been the same without Katie, Adam and their entire team!
Katie & Adam helped us through pivoting our wedding during COVID and were an amazing help in pulling together our special day in Santa Barbara. They were so on top of every detail...
with planning out vendors and on the day-of. It truly let us relax knowing that they had everything covered. Highly recommend.
